| obviously i cant stay away forever...i mean, do i have anything better to do with my time? when i think about it, theres quite a bit of stuff i could do, but it sounded good in my head to write that. i really should just write in this during the day since im always looking for stuff to do then...but instead i wait till 12:48 in the a.m. cuz im a natural procrastinator. much has changed in my life. nothing big, but a lot of small stuff. most of which are not important enough to write about, and some that are not important enough to write about even though i will write about them anyways. first, i got an external hard drive for my computer. i know, i know...what kind of big news is this? the hard drive itself is not the big deal, its the process of backing my stuff up on it that calls for attention. so i backed up all my music and pics on dvds and then reformatted my hard drive cuz it was way too cluttered and running out of space. for 3 or 4 weeks all i did was listen to online radio...kaparadio.com...money. i finally bought an external hard drive which i will never fill up, cuz its gigantenourmous, and i started putting my music back on it. in doing so, i got way more organized and rediscovered all kinds of music i forgot about. i wanna rediscover everything, but i just got way too much stuff i probably dont even like, or never did. at least i know if i ever get stuck in my apartment during a natural disaster, i will have 53 days, 16 hours, 1 minute and 5 seconds of unrepeated music to listen to. unlikely that i will be stuck here with my computer, electricity, food and water for that long, but if it came to it, i would be groovin in my room till all is well. second. i am almost done with my first rotation. i know it shouldnt really count as a rotation cuz it was so easy, but im still taking credit for it. i guess that didnt really warrant being #2 on things that changed, since i pretty much do the same thing now that i did before (nothing), but i feel like something is accomplished anyways even if it is just the passing of time. it was such a big accomplishment that USC decided to reward me with a week off to do nothing again! third. I dont know if i mentioned this before (and i dont know why i chose to capitalize that first "I" and no others), but i have become a closet harry potter fan. not that i am really in the closet cuz i pretty much tell everyone now, but i always hated on him and anyone who liked him. with so much free time, i finally gave in and started to read the books and now im hooked. too bad i saw movies 4 and 5 so i kinda know stuff i shouldnt know. i also finally read about the hermiones cat that aidan and kalei said their neighbors cat looked like. i used to throw him up in the air and let him fall and then prove how stupid cats are cuz i just act like im gonna pet him and he would come running back over and over. now that i found out that hes mean, i dont feel so bad about doing it. that warrants being listed as #3 cuz its something inside me that changed. if i would have written about how rotations have changed me, then i guess it would have made sense to include it as #2, but im too lazy to put the thought into it and edit it. also, the numbering system has no correlation with how important these events are in my life. number 4. if there were a correlation, this would probably be the last on the list, and it may be, depending on how tired i am at the end of this one. i was lying in bed one night after a long day of going to costco and stocking up on food and water. i couldnt get to sleep for a while cuz it was so hot and my mind started wandering on the first thing that anyone with insomnia thinks about, natural disasters and zombie attacks. im not sure why i thought about this, but i hypothesize that it may have had something to do with me feeling really well prepared with all my water that i bought. peter and clint were also gone, so maybe i felt a little surviorman-ish cuz i had fended for myself without any human contact for a whole night. anyways, i decided that if there were some sort of disaster and we all had to stay indoors, i would be extremely well prepared and would have no problem with it. i had all kinds of food and an endless (more or less) supply of water. i had books to read since i had just started harry potter. i would probably be pissed when i finished the third book and didnt have the rest of them though. after that i had planned on reading through all my therapeutics notes so i could be the smartest pharmacy student ever. at least i was gonna come out of this situation with some learnedness. then i thought about clint and peter trying to come back, but i had to tell them no cuz they might be contaminated and thats what my radio told me to do. im not sure what they were contaminated with, but obviosly my subconscious thinks they are unclean. i also realized that i need to go buy a batter powered radio, but i felt kinda good cuz i have my car and theres a radio in that, although im only really sure that the country station and the jazz station work. so after the peter and clint thing, i thought to myself that since im so set up for disasters (all the food, water, first aid supplies including waterproof bandaids, a killer pocket knife and research about disaster preparedness), people would probably want to come chill with me cuz obviously no one else would be as prepared as me in my mind. of course i couldnt let people in cuz then i would run out of stuff for myself, but i realized i have a lot of windows and no boards to board them up with. i also had no gun to shoot people for breaking in...gotta go get one. and dont assume i dont have one and break into my house tonight...i may have got one already. you never know. anyways, from there i thought about people breaking into the house and i started thinking about zombies. the first thing i had to decide about the zombies were if they were gonna be slow zombies, like in that movie shaun of the dead, or if they are fast zombies like in that movie where the zombies can run...i dont know the name, but they can run and thats the main point. i chose the slow zombies of course, cuz fast zombies are way too complicated to make a safe and effective escape plan for...and lets face it, in this kind of situation, its all about safety and efficacy. and of course, always remember that effectiveness is not the same as efficacy. dont know what the difference is, or if i used the right one, but efficacy will have to do for now. anyways, the whole slow zombie ordeal will take to long to type out now. it took up the majority of my pondering that night. the basics are that i would pack up, steal a truck, and head to the forest or somewhere where there was nobody to turn into zombies in the first place. i had a plan for anything that could go wrong...i even had a running strategy for when i was filling up gas and had to be outside and keep away from zombies. maybe if this ever really happens i can have an episode of "i shouldnt be alive" and then i will reveal all my secrets about surviving slow zombies. i gotta go to sleep. |
